Watch how she reacts when the water actually comes on…

I mean, I kind of feel bad for laughing, but she was warned!

When Jaden Hayes was just four, his dad passed away. He was heartbroken, but it wasn’t until he was six that things truly took a turn for the worse. His mom died in her sleep.

But instead of letting his grief overwhelm him, the little boy, who is clearly far wiser than his six years, decided to do something about all the sadness around him. He started giving away toys with one hope in mind — to make people smile!

He’s about to make you smile, too.

This little guy is inspiring and his message is so important. No matter how bad life can get or how down in the dumps you are, you can’t forget about all the good that you can do and that surrounds you!

At birth, elephant calves can weigh more than 200 pounds.

Because of that, you’d think that such a big baby would be raring to go — eager to take on the world with all its obstacles, weird sounds, and unexpected friends…but when it comes to this little guy, it’s quite the opposite.

When this group of tourists came across an elephant herd, the tiny tyke in the bunch was pretty apprehensive when they reached a small stream. Next to the big baby, the body of water looks more like a puddle, but that doesn’t stop the cutie from being entirely terrified of traversing it.

This little guy definitely reminds me of someone…

Eventually the cutie made it across and ran off into the sunset!

In 2014, the Summer Youth Olympics took place in Nanjing, China. While typically summertime musters thoughts of swimming, sunbathing, and ice cream, this incredible performance at the games brought about memories of Christmas. The towering tree display lit up the stadium filled with thousands of viewers…but when you see what the glittering gem is really made of (hint: it’s not evergreen or string lights), you’ll be speechless.

Not only is that incredibly impressive, it’s also amazing how talented the acrobats are. The beautiful shapes they are able to create in the sky are really quite striking. Have you ever seen anything like this before?!

If there’s one thing I hate more than washing dishes…wait, nope. Can’t think of one!

Yep, dishwashing is basically the worst thing ever. When I lived in a tiny apartment in New York City, I was forced to wash my plates and silverware pretty much as soon as I finished using them in an effort to not wind up buried by them. (My kitchen was actually that small.) But that doesn’t mean I didn’t wish I could put it off until the end of time.

If you’re looking for an easier way to go about doing your dirty dishes, here are a few helpful tricks:

1. Instead of soaking your dishes in the sink, suds them up in a plastic bin outside the sink so that area is free for other dish-washing duties.

11. Use cold water and soap to clean dairy and starchy messes.

12. There’s a right and a wrong way to load you dishwasher.

Plates and other dishes should be stacked facing the center of the washer, cups should rest between the tines (not on), and make sure silverware doesn’t nest by alternating placing them in handles up and down.

There you have it…you’re basically going to be as boss as this guy is from now on.

When I tell people I’m from Maine, they ask, “Did you ride moose to school?”

While they’re (hopefully) joking, I always play along and laugh about our lack of running water, too.

The truth, though, is that I can’t remember a time I’ve actually seen a moose. I probably saw one from far off as a girl when my family and I spent summers camping and winters on the slopes…but I have no actual recollection.

But when it comes to this little girl’s encounter with a moose, I can’t imagine she’ll soon forget the meeting — this is simply too amazing to not remember!

How awesome is that? I would switch spots with her in a heartbeat!

If you want the chance to experience moose (and more!) up close, visit Parc Omega on your next trip to Ottawa or Montreal.
